Sign in to disble this ad
G'day

I'm just wandering what strings are best sounding on my Mike Dirnt Signature Precision Bass Guitar. I'm thinking of getting Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings, but i would like some ideas please!

My teacher said some brand that was like Wil - sumfin i duno but yeah. So i would like sum ideas please?

Cheers, Ben.

EDIT: I have a budget of $50 (australian).

There is no best. Try the Slinkies and if you don't like them, try something else. I started with GHS Boomers, moved to Slinkies, LaBella Hard Rockin' Steels, short stint with Rotosounds and am now using D'Addario's almost exclusively.

+1 (except for the LaBella's) I really like D'Addario Chromes on my P bass, great sound and they last forever.

well he does have a MD sig bass, im going to assume you want a brighter tone correct? try some Ernie Ball's, if you had a better budget than DR's would be good but im not sure how much they are in Australia.
